Behind Blue Eyes
Pete Townshend
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free, mm-mm-hmm
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
A Dor e a Solidão de Behind Blue Eyes: Uma Análise da Música do The Who
A música Behind Blue Eyes, da banda britânica The Who, é uma das mais emblemáticas do rock clássico, lançada em 1971 no álbum 'Who's Next'. A canção é uma balada introspectiva que explora a solidão, a incompreensão e a raiva contida de um indivíduo que se sente vilanizado pela sociedade. Através de uma melodia suave que contrasta com a intensidade emocional da letra, Behind Blue Eyes oferece um olhar sobre a complexidade dos sentimentos humanos.
A letra começa com uma declaração de isolamento e incompreensão ('No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man behind blue eyes'), sugerindo que o narrador se sente julgado e mal interpretado pelo mundo ao seu redor. A repetição da frase 'No one knows' reforça a sensação de solidão e a ideia de que ninguém é capaz de compreender verdadeiramente a dor e os conflitos internos que ele enfrenta. A referência aos 'olhos azuis' pode ser interpretada como um símbolo de pureza e inocência, que contrasta com a percepção de que ele é o 'homem mau'.
A música também aborda a temática da vingança e da raiva reprimida ('My love is vengeance, that's never free'). O narrador expressa um desejo de retaliação, mas ao mesmo tempo reconhece que esse sentimento tem um custo emocional. A letra sugere um ciclo de emoções negativas que o narrador luta para controlar, como evidenciado nos versos que pedem ajuda para manter a calma e a sanidade ('When my fist clenches, crack it open / Before I use it and lose my cool'). A vulnerabilidade do narrador é exposta nos pedidos de conforto e proteção, mostrando que, apesar de sua fachada de 'homem mau', existe um desejo profundo por empatia e compreensão.
No one knows what it's like
Ninguém sabe como é
To be the bad man
Ser o homem mau
To be the sad man
Ser o homem triste
Behind blue eyes
Por trás dos olhos azuis
No one knows what it's like
Ninguém sabe como é
To be hated
Ser odiado
To be fated
Para ser predestinado
To telling only lies
Para contar apenas mentiras
But my dreams
Mas meus sonhos
They aren't as empty
Eles não são tão vazios
As my conscience seems to be
Como minha consciência parece ser
I have hours, only lonely
Eu tenho horas, só solitário
My love is vengeance
Meu amor é vingança
That's never free
Isso nunca é de graça
No one knows what it's like
Ninguém sabe como é
To feel these feelings
Para sentir esses sentimentos
Like I do
Como eu faço
And I blame you
E eu te culpo
No one bites back as hard
Ninguém morde de volta com tanta força
On their anger
Em sua raiva
None of my pain and woe
Nenhuma de minha dor e aflição
Can show through
Pode mostrar através
But my dreams
Mas meus sonhos
They aren't as empty
Eles não são tão vazios
As my conscience seems to be
Como minha consciência parece ser
I have hours, only lonely
Eu tenho horas, só solitário
My love is vengeance
Meu amor é vingança
That's never free, mm-mm-hmm
Isso nunca é grátis, mm-mm-hmm
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Quando meu punho cerrar, abra-o
Before I use it and lose my cool
Antes de usar e perder a calma
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Quando eu sorrir, me conte algumas notícias ruins
Before I laugh and act like a fool
Antes de rir e agir como um idiota
And if I swallow anything evil
E se eu engolir qualquer coisa do mal
Put your finger down my throat
Coloque seu dedo na minha garganta
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
E se eu tremer, por favor me dê um cobertor
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
Mantenha-me aquecido, deixe-me usar seu casaco
No one knows what it's like
Ninguém sabe como é
To be the bad man
Ser o homem mau
To be the sad man
Ser o homem triste
Behind blue eyes
Por trás dos olhos azuis
No one knows what it's like
Nadie sabe lo que se siente
To be the bad man
Ser el hombre malo
To be the sad man
Ser el hombre triste
Behind blue eyes
Detrás de unos ojos azules
No one knows what it's like
Nadie sabe lo que se siente
To be hated
Ser odiado
To be fated
Estar condenado
To telling only lies
A decir solamente mentiras
But my dreams
Pero mis sueños
They aren't as empty
No están tan vacíos
As my conscience seems to be
Como mi consciencia parece estar
I have hours, only lonely
Llevo horas, simplemente solo
My love is vengeance
Mi amor es venganza
That's never free
Que nunca está libre
No one knows what it's like
Nadie sabe lo que se siente
To feel these feelings
Sentir estos sentimientos
Like I do
Como yo
And I blame you
Y te culpo a ti
No one bites back as hard
Nadie muerde de vuelta tan fuerte
On their anger
En su ira
None of my pain and woe
Ninguno de mis dolores y aflicciones
Can show through
Se pueden ver a través de mí
But my dreams
Pero mis sueños
They aren't as empty
No están tan vacíos
As my conscience seems to be
Como mi consciencia parece estar
I have hours, only lonely
Llevo horas, simplemente solo
My love is vengeance
Mi amor es venganza
That's never free, mm-mm-hmm
Que nunca está libre, mm-mm-hmm
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Cuando mi puño se aprieta, ábrelo
Before I use it and lose my cool
Antes de que lo use y pierda el control
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Cuando sonría, dame malas noticias
Before I laugh and act like a fool
Antes de que ría y actúe como un idiota
And if I swallow anything evil
Y si me trago algo malo
Put your finger down my throat
Mete tu puño en mi garganta
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Y si tiemblo, por favor, dame una manta
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
Mantenme caliente, déjame usar tu abrigo

I have hours, only lonely
J'ai des heures, que de la solitude
My love is vengeance
Mon amour est une vengeance
That's never free
Qui ne sera jamais libre

De ressentir ces sentiments
Like I do

And I blame you
Et je pense que c'est de ta faite
No one bites back as hard
Personne ne réprime si fort
On their anger
Contre leur colère
None of my pain and woe
Il n'y a pas de traces de ma douleur ni de ma tristesse
Can show through
Qu'on peut voir à travers
But my dreams

They aren't as empty
Ils ne sont pas aussi vides
As my conscience seems to be

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Quand mon poing se serre, je l'ouvre
Before I use it and lose my cool
Avant que je m'en sers et perde mon calme
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Quand je souris, raconte-moi de mauvaises nouvelles
Before I laugh and act like a fool
Avant que je ris et que j'agis comme un con
And if I swallow anything evil
Et si j'avale quelque chose de maléfique
Put your finger down my throat
Mets tes doigts dans ma gorge
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Et je frissonne, je t'en prie, donne-moi une couverture
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
Garde-moi au chaud, laisse-moi porter ton manteau

Personne ne sait comment c'est
To be the bad man

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Wenn meine Faust sich ballt, mach sie auf
Before I use it and lose my cool
Bevor ich sie benutze und die Fassung verliere
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Wenn ich lächle, erzähl mir eine schlechte Nachricht
Before I laugh and act like a fool
Bevor ich lache und mich wie ein Narr aufführe
And if I swallow anything evil
Und wenn ich etwas Böses schlucke
Put your finger down my throat
Steck deinen Finger in meine Kehle
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Und wenn ich zittere, gib mir bitte eine Decke
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
Halte mich warm, lass mich deinen Mantel tragen

Nessuna parte del mio dolore e della mia disgrazia
Can show through
Può mostrarsi attraverso

Quando il mio pugno si stringe, aprilo
Before I use it and lose my cool
Prima che lo usi e perda la calma
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Quando sorrido, dammi delle brutte notizie
Before I laugh and act like a fool
Prima che rida e mi comporti da stupido
And if I swallow anything evil
E se ingoio qualcosa di malvagio
Put your finger down my throat
Mettimi il dito in gola
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
E se tremo, per favore dammi una coperta

On their anger
Pada kemarahan mereka
None of my pain and woe
Tidak satu pun dari rasa sakit dan duka
Can show through
Dapat terlihat
But my dreams

Masukkan jarimu ke tenggorokanku
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Dan jika aku menggigil, tolong berikan aku selimut
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
Hangatkan aku, biarkan aku memakai mantelmu
